Description

You enter Chalet Balthazar into a spacious entrance area which offers excellent storage for outdoor footwear and clothing. Carry on further into the property, and you enter the open plan kitchen, dining and living area, which is illuminated by a large window overlooking the gardens with beautiful views of distant farmland and mountains beyond. A comforting warmth can be felt radiating from grey slate floor tiles, which contrast wonderfully against the textured wood clad walls. The modern, fully equipped kitchen features a full size electric fan oven, 4 ring ceramic hob, dishwasher, microwave and granite work surface area, as well as luxurious extras such as a Nespresso coffee machine. In the dining area a beautiful chunky wood dining table, comfortably seating up to 10 people, rests below an attractive suspended light while offering more great views from the large east facing window. In the first of two separate living areas, a comfortable sofa offers a space to rest weary legs in front of the cosy, crackling log fire which takes centre stage in this room.

A real highlight of Chalet Balthazar is the vast lower level which combines a games room, home cinema and second living area to create a wonderful space to be enjoyed by the whole group. At one end of the room, guests will find a pool table while at the other is an enormous and very comfortable corner sofa which provides a luxurious vantage point to enjoy the large 152cm LCD TV with Blu-ray player, surround sound speakers and Xbox 360 games console. This sofa can be also be converted into a double bed. Also located in the lower ground floor is a combined washing / drying machine. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.

Location

Chalet Balthazar occupies a fantastic position on the edge of Samoens in a peaceful, unspoilt location surrounded by open farmland with spectacular views in all directions. A scenic flat walk of around 9 minutes will take you to the picturesque village centre of Samoens where you will find cafes, restaurants, bars, local shops, boulangeries, and an excellent weekly market which is not to be missed!

A 5 minute walk will take you to the nearest ski bus stop which offers a regular free service to the Grand Massif Express gondola in Samoens which offers great links into the vast Grand Massif network. Alternatively, there is a large free car park opposite the same gondola.

In the summer months some of the best walking trails lead directly from the chalet, including those which lead up to the famous peak of Le Criou. For those looking for a more relaxed time, why not stroll through the unspoilt sleepy hamlet of Les Vallons, or join the gentle riverside trails between Samoens and Sixt-Fer-a-Cheval which are enjoyed equally on foot or by bike.
